Denia, Costa Blanca

Denia is one of the most beautiful resort towns on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, situated on the northern edge of the Costa Blanca, 100 km south of Valencia and 95 km north of Alicante. With a population of 27.000, Denia is situated in the foothills of the Montgó Massif which tower 750 metres above sea level.

For sun lovers and water sport enthusiasts alike, Denia offers a wide variety of attractions: clear turquoise-coloured sea, endless sandy beaches, amazing rock formations, hidden coves and impressive cliffs. In addition, the climate is sunny almost the entire year round, with approximately 320 sunny days per year, a very mild winter (up to 20º C in January) and a pleasantly warm summer (on average 29º C).

Denia has a fascinating history. For more than 5000 years, different races have fought and mixed here: Iberians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths, Moors and Christians. They have all left a mark on the character of the people and a wealth of archaeological and historical treasures.

Denia consists of a harbour quarter, Baix la Mar, an historical centre, Les Roques, the new part and the beach. The old town is well-preserved, and a typical Mediterranean atmosphere is felt through the white-washed façades, the arched doorways and the cast-iron window bars. In the evening along the narrow streets, one encounters the many beautiful squares and the countless bars, cafés and taverns. Towering over the old town, the Castle, a Moorish medieval fortress, dominates the skyline. The town prospers from fishing, agriculture, handicrafts, trade and, of course, tourism.

Situated in the centre of Denia, our Partner School is on one of the most frequented streets, close to the local market and at the foot of the castle.
